Intervention and Rescue

It's a historical non-fiction film with a plot like Schindler's List (although I don't know which of the two films was made first), and it's about one person saving a group of people. In fact, this person was not so kind at the beginning, and so was Schindler. He started out selfish and just wanted to protect his family. In the end, he became a national hero because of the compassion that was constantly inspired in the process, not because of how great and selfless he was.
It can even be considered that this man is selfish, because he has been thinking about the safety of his wife and children from beginning to end. To a large extent, these Tutsi people are protected by him "by the way", even if the wife, brother and sister-in-law's The child was also his wife's repeated pleas to find it - Paul was not great, but he did great things, we can think of this as human instinct.
Paul is a smart man, after all, he has achieved the position of account manager in a four-star high-end hotel. He's good at bribery, he's good at trolling, but others aren't bad. All Paul does is build connections for himself and prepare himself for when he needs it one day - an effective way for someone at the bottom who wants to achieve vertical mobility. He's just a selfish, utilitarian "success man".
Going back to the story the film tells - the Rwandan genocide, it's a story of revenge and a struggle for power. I know very little about Africa because I'm really not interested in them. But this tragic occurrence involves the "human nature" that I am interested in. Follow the ideas given by Teacher Luo Xiang today and talk about "interference". The international community barely intervened in the Rwandan genocide. It only gave some humanitarian care in the end, and the United Nations finally added some troops. Those refugees had been desperately waiting for someone to come and save them, and their hopes were repeatedly lost. It has to be admitted that this is the aftermath of the events in Somalia. The United Nations is afraid, and the United States is also afraid. They once meddled with their own business and failed so miserably that they dared not take rash action again. The consequence of this, however, was to allow the Holocaust to fester, resulting in the deaths of millions.
Should this kind of business be bothered? Our motherland will definitely not take care of it. "It's none of our business to hang up." This is our ancestral motto. But from a humanitarian point of view, no one wants such a tragedy to happen in the land where they live - especially for Christians, "love never ends", which completely violates all principles. How do you decide between protecting yourself and saving others? Who can afford to suffer from thankless things again and again? Humanitarian intervention can be understood as malicious military operations, and malicious military operations can also be disguised as humanitarian intervention. There are also a few words that are the truth, all kinds of media propaganda, all kinds of propaganda and rumors... It seems that we can't find the truest truth of things, but only kindness is eternal justice.
We often laugh at the status of the US as an international policeman and constantly accuse the US of interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. But what about when, one day, you need someone else to intervene to save your life? At the same time of accusing, even if he is really malicious, he cannot ignore the non-negligible role he can play at a certain moment - dialectics is the most terrible law in this world.
